Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 89
Annie’s friends were all wishing they were the one. They couldn't take their eyes off Annie. They wanted to see her answer the phone.But even Annie didn't trust Alex’s call. She knew something must have happened for him to be calling her, and she couldn't risk taking it in front of her friends.“I will just have to take this in the car since I wouldn't like to make any of you jealous.” Annie pretended to be teasing them and excused herself.Her gullible friends who didn't notice anything believed her, and Annie left.“Young master Alex.” She called out in her babysit voice immediately after she picked up the call.“I will only ask you this once and I want nothing but the truth,” Alex responded.He ignored all the drama and pretense she was putting on to get to him and went straight to the point.Annie was shivering a bit. She didn't know what this was all about but her mind was going somewhere.Thank goodness her friends weren't here to witness the heat and tension she was going thro

Everything seemed to be revolving from one problem to another. There was no way he could believe a total stranger who put out unverified information. It might be fake.Alex read the message on the paper again to be sure he hadn't read it wrongly. And after confirming he was correct, he entered his car and zoomed off.On arrival, Clara welcomed Alex warmly. They have been living so fine these few days and she misses Alex most times when he is not around.Alex had been contemplating whether to show that to Clara or not. He knew that was going to break her down but they also promised not to keep anything away from each other.In the end, he concluded that he was going to tell her.“How was the office today? gossips?” Clara chuckled, she had just handed Alex a glass of water and took off his jacket.Having been to the environment, she knew they were still going to be talking about her.“Sweet, it’s something more than gossip,” Alex replied. Though Clara was laughing, he needed to prepare

Annie was trying to come up with something. They had done almost everything to Clara and she kept overcoming them. Alex does come to her aid also.So she doesn't even know what she meant by legal action. But an idea hit her mind.“Dad. You have a lot of influence. It doesn't even have to be real. You just need to give an order. Alex can't do anything about it.”So Mr. Peters kept quiet. More like he was thinking about what Annie said. All these while, they have been trying to get Clara to fall for one trap or the other, but she kept sailing.Without saying anything to them, he left his wife and Annie.So Annie turned to Mrs. Peters, who only offered her a smile before going to join her husband. “Expected,” she mumbled to herself.It was not long before Alex received the message from Henry. He didn't know they would be holding any other conversation after the last time.Whatever he needed urgently, he would grant it. For his honesty the previous time, he would.So Alex replied to the m

So Clara began looking for an outfit to wear for shopping. She was wise enough to know Alex just used that as an opportunity to get her to follow him.But she didn't mind at all, it wasn't bad if she followed her husband since it was the weekend.Alex was getting dressed also, giving himself credit for being able to convince his wife not knowing she was trying to please him also.Clara was just dressed simply. Sleeveless long chiffon gown and sunglasses since it was a sunny day. She styled her hair in a wavy way.Before they left, Alex complimented her beauty and pecked her forehead.“You are so beautiful, Sweet.”Then he held her hands till they went to the car. The housekeepers were a big fan of both of them, unlike when Annie was around.When Alex mentioned they were going shopping, Clara assumed that it would be for his shirts and maybe a few other things but where they entered had nothing to do with male belongings.“Feel free to take anything sweet. And when you are confused bet

As she chewed the food in her mouth, he kept looking at her. She wanted to smile but he wasn't smiling at her, he kept a straight face.He meant every single word. “Sweet, whatever it would take for you to stop calling this a fake marriage, I will do it.” He added, to make her know he was damn serious.All Clara did was take more bites. The statements she made must have annoyed him a lot. She knew he always complained about it, but she didn't know that he would go to this extent.“Dating during marriage. That is what we are doing, sweet.”Speechless, she only nodded to him. So to reciprocate and tell him that she was cool with whatever it was, she scooped a portion of food and fed him.They continued like that. Alex did most of the talking, while Clara did most of the blushing.Who would have thought that a shopping day would turn into a proper date?When they were done at the restaurant. Alex prepared her for the next place. “Let’s go see a movie, sweet.”Alex chose the movie because

Just like every other person, Alex and Clara left the cinema. The last statement Alex made to Clara had kept her silent all this while.It’s just been repeating in her head, “You are my heart.” How could a movie know so much about what was happening in their life?It was late in the evening so Clara guessed they would be heading home from here. A shopping day had just turned into a romantic date.“One more place, Sweet,” Alex said.He knew the thoughts on her mind, but since they had started it, they were going to make it till the end.He didn’t allow her to stress herself by asking. His body language told her“One more thing, let’s have dinner, Sweet. We would keep it simple!” He needed to add that last statement, otherwise, his suggestion would sound like a threat.Clara had almost forgotten that there was something like dinner. Could it be that she was filled and satisfied with happiness?Alex said they were making it simple so whatever it was, was going to be simple.They weren’t g

The next morning, Alex woke early, his wife, Clara, was still asleep.Why was he more happy than the celebrant who didn’t even know it was her birthday? Why does he feel it was his own day?Alex slid his foot into his footwear on the floor. He needed to take the phone calls. He knew why they were calling anyway.So he gave Clara a forehead peck, making sure he didn’t wake her up.“Hey, Andrew.”“Boss, there might be a bit of delay….”As Andrew was about to say something else, he cut him. “How long?”“About an hour.”“Okay, just make sure it doesn’t exceed that!”After Andrew responded, the call disconnected. Alex initially thought Andrew called because he was all set, but rather he wanted to inform him of the delay.Somehow, it appeared perfect. Clara was still asleep. So based on his calculations, in an hour, she should be awake also.He answered yet another call, and another, and another. There were plenty of directions and talking, what was this surprise he was planning?Even the ho

The moment Clara turned, Alex handed her the letter and bouquet. “Happy Birthday, Wifey. I love you.”To play along, Clara had to force a smile, Everyone began Clapping. A few people brought out their phones and began videoing them.Though she tried to hide it, Clara’s face was still filled with perplexity. Sophie’s last statement was all she could think of. That Alex was the one who planned everything.She didn’t tell him it was her birthday nor did he act like he knew. So there was definitely something Sophie wasn’t telling her.Camera flashes were all over the place, so her lips remained wide. They began heading inside now, the five cakes were dropped on the table according to the spelling of her name.Then she was forced to read out the letter Alex gave to her. Being the reader, she had the opportunity to glance through it first.Then her face changed, while they were waiting, she seemed to be tearing up.“Clara, we are waiting,” Sophia called out, Alex nodded in response to Soph

Alex put a call to Andrew. He told him a wedding was happening today and he should start sending out cards to people. If possible, to all the guests invited yesterday.“Are you sure this would work out, let's do proper planning,” Clara said, afraid it might turn out a flop.“Today is the day and we don't have a dress yet, even Sophie as the maid of honor doesn't.” Clara expressed more worry.“Have you forgotten who your husband is? You don't have to worry. Everything will be ready in minutes. Let’s go home.”Alex managed to convince Clara that it was possible and the three left for Alex’s mansion to get prepared.“There is an important person I would love to invite,” Clara declared in the car.“And who's that?”“My Dad.”Without much questioning, Alex instructed Andrew to send an invite to Mr. Roberts too. The wedding was strictly on invitation.The wedding was already flying around the whole city. How CEO Alex canceled a wedding yesterday and is having another day.Elizabeth also ma

As Alex stepped out, he began to call Clara’s line but she wasn't picking up.He had called more than twenty times now and there was no answer. He knows this was too sudden and the only thing he can do is to send a message.Maybe if she received a text from him, it would give a clue of what the call was about.Alex composed a few messages, deeply apologizing and telling Clara how he loves and cares about her.“Clara, your phone has been ringing for a while.” Sophia, who was bothered tried to wake Clara, but this time, she was truly asleep.Sophia made a turn to head back to the living room, but when Clara’s phone rang again. She decided to see who it was.“Alex?” Sophia mumbled to herself.Curious to know more, Sophia picked up the phone and read all that Alex said, she was so touched. She tried to wake Clara one more time but she was deep asleep.So the next time the phone rang, Sophia picked it up.“Sweet, you need to forgive me. I will explain in person. Where are you?” Alex asked,

Alex was speeding on the highway. He only needed to get to the location as fast as possible to stop whatever was going on there.His mind was occupied with thoughts of Clara. He was fine, he had been okay. Could it be that Clara never cheated?It was his baby! He got Clara pregnant. It was his Child. Clara never betrayed him. Why didn't it occur to him to run a test all along?He couldn't concentrate and drive well. Where would he start from? How was he going to apologize?

It’s been three days since Clara started staying with Sophia. Life has been a bit fair.Sophia treated her so well that she was beginning to forget all she had been through. She paid zero attention to Alex and Jane’s wedding also.For someone who had just lost her baby, it was safe to say that Sophia was a wonderful friend.Mr. Roberts has been trying to contact his daughter too. When he heard about the wedding ceremony between Alex and Jane, he was shocked.No wonder Alex refused to further the case of his wife, what must have happened between him and Clara?So at that moment, he got out his phone and called Clara again.

Alex finally opened up to his mother in front of Jane after much confrontation. She was his mum and there was nothing more to hide.“Why did you hide this from me? I am your mother, Alex. Imagine we did not have someone like Jane. What would have happened to our family’s image?” Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.“Mrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.” Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.“And what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?”“I’m sorry, mum. It's okay.” Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.“Son, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us. Annie is out of the way and you have seen how slutty that girl you choose was. You have to marry Jane as soon as possible.”Immediately Mrs. Peters said the last word, Alex looked at his mum and she nodded at h

Mandy had thought about everything she wanted to carry out. Watching Clara take all the glory makes her sick.At first, she genuinely wanted to get close to Clara and learn some secrets, but now that she has the power to destroy her, she would!“I will be right back,” Mandy sounded off to Clara. It was a less busy day so Mandy just left for the manager's office without Clara knowing why.Having everything planned out, she spent more than thirty minutes explaining things which got the manager hooked.“Are you sure about this?” The manager asked, failing to believe all that was just said about Clara.“Sir, you can find out for yourself if you wish to.” Mandy guaranteed.“You may leave now.”After Mandy left his office, she came back to Clara like nothing had happened.“What took you so long? Did something happen?” Clara questioned genuinely but Mandy cunningly changed the discussion without Clara figuring it out.“Today is a bit boring.”“Yeah, I guess because the evening just started.”

Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around. She did the driving while Jane stayed beside her in the passenger's seat.Jane truly wondered what they were going to do and how Alex was going to react to this. “I'm sorry, Alex. I had to do this for us.” Jane prayed silently in her heart.They arrived at Alex’s mansion and learned that he wasn't at home but at work. Mrs. Peters was prepared for wherever he might be, so they started heading to his office.In the office, the only person Alex practically spoke to was Andrew. He would listen to anyone speak, and acknowledge any information, but would never say a word unless it was Andrew.When Mrs. Peters and Jane arrived at the office, Jane wanted to stay behind, but Alex’s mum insisted she follow.Unfortunately, Alex’s secretary recognized Jane as the lady Alex warned her never to let in. But seeing her with Mrs. Peters, there was nothing she could do to stop her.She was not even able to notify Alex. Before she coul

Jane slightly nodded in affirmation. However, when Mrs. Peters asked her what sickness Alex had, she couldn't say a word.There was no way she would tell them that Alex was impotent, what if Alex ended up hating her the more?But Mrs. Peters rather surprised her. Alex was her son and her emotions were justified.“I order you to begin to speak now! What is wrong with my son? Tell me all you know right now!” she roared and that truly scared Jane.Her desperation has put her in a tight corner. But No matter how long they hid it, Mrs. Peters is Alex’s mum and eventually, she would find out one day.“Speak Jane!” The order came again.Now, Since Jane was shooting her shot also. She would come off as emotional and also behave in all those traits they thought she never had.“Mum, I and Alex had gone our separate ways then, but the truth was that I couldn’t move on. We were so tender to make the right choice and proffer solutions.” Jane began off.Mrs. Peters was losing patience, this wasn’t

After Mrs Peters recognized it was Jane. She was elated, though she didn’t let that reflect in her voice.Soon, they already planned to meet up. Mrs. Peters invited Jane to come over to the house. It wasn’t her first time, it used to be a typical thing then.“Ok, Mrs. Peters. I will just get prepared right away.” Jane replied.“Expecting you soon,” Mrs. Peters replied before ending the call. It was kind of off the way Jane was at her beck and call, but it was a good thing anyway.Back in those days, Mrs. Peters didn’t hate Jane, but she didn’t love her so much either. If she was to choose between Jane and Annie, she would go for Annie.Maybe because she can be able to control Annie and not Jane. Jane always stood out and tried not to impress them or seek their validation of her relationship with Alex.Although both Jane and Annie ticked the boxes and came from prestigious homes, Annie still displayed a little low self-esteem which made Mrs. Peters like her a lot.The call had disconnec
